Cedar Point-on-Lake ErieDocumenting the History of an American Tradition
Modern
Cedar Point is known for record breaking roller coasters and some of the
most intense thrill rides in the world; however, this was not always the
case for our beloved park. It once was a quant beach resort known for the
large groves of cedar trees that outlined the peninsula. Dating all the way
back to 1870, Cedar Point first started as a bathing beach with small
attractions and gradually turned in the Cedar Point we know today.

It's tradition of being an
old-fashion park and having the latest amusement rides makes Cedar Point
unique from most parks. Today over three
million people, from around the globe, visit Cedar Point every year finding
themselves surrounded by it's collection of roller coasters, rides, history,
and natural beauty. This once tree covered peninsula is now one of the
largest and most successful amusement parks in the world.

Welcome to our site. Learn about the
extensive history of Cedar Point. From struggling through the depression
facing almost certain failure to developing attractions on the same level as
DisneyLand, Cedar Point itself has been on one crazy roller coaster ride.

About this Site:

The
Cedar Point-on-Lake Erie website was initially launched in 1995 by Michael
Bradley and the history portion added in 1999. Around 2003, this site
partnered with The Point Online to widen the audience on Cedar Point's
history. Several years later, due to lack of attention and updates to The
Point Online, this portion of the website was lost to the web. Now in 2011, we have recovered segments of this site and have restored
and updated many of the original features.
